  1. Not just a victory, a landslide built on two years of a lame duck who gets no judges confirmed and no laws passed, paving the way for the "mandate" to do fascism even more quickly than he's doing it now.
  2. The protests came in 2024 because Brandon was a genocidal Zionist, not because of Russia/Ukraine. US intervention in 2022 would have been a completely different beast, and it might also have helped the vaunted red wave happen. Especially if the MAGA media apparatus leaned hard into the "Donald the Dove" lie and trotted out assets like Tulsi Gabbard to discredit NATO. I've seen some bad takes but this might be your dumbest yet.
  3. I have no problem with her, but he's done the job before and has a national profile. I think he'd win by 8 points or more.
  4. Do you know how many variations of this "story" we endured for three consecutive presidential election cycles? These people are statistically insignificant. The base has not broken until every MAGA politician has been voted out and, god willing, extradited to The Hague. Also, his mouth movements are highly suspect. I consider this a Deepfake until proven otherwise.
  5. It also would have guaranteed massive protests in every major city against unnecessary US intervention, and a landslide defeat in 2024.
  6. He'd smoke her, and DSA is why.
  7. A lot of the details and financial projections were not unveiled until recently, so although it's true that the project has been years in the making it's also true that it's a fluid situation and the key terms were not capable of being publicly known or discussed for 99% of the time that this was being cooked up behind closed doors. The Spurs Organization has a lot of goodwill and credibility with the community, but the developers who stand to benefit are usually assholes who don't give one rat's ass about making the city better. We could have the arena without all of the other bullshit, and most people would be fine with it. So the way I see it, a bunch of bad actors are hiding behind the Spurs's reputation and riding on their coattails in order to potentially swindle taxpayers to the tune of several billion dollars. Is there any non-biased source of objective information about who knew what and when they knew it? Also, at this point Project Marvel discussion probably should have its own separate thread.
  8. Controlled opposition. All that's missing are the Washington Generals uniforms.
  9. He was the first Congressman to publicly tell Brandon to step down. We were looking at a 400+ EV landslide for TFG if he hadn't. Kamala had a chance, but of course the people with the worst political instincts were still running the show (the instincts that got us in that predicament in the first place) so she also lost but not nearly as badly. I'll always be thankful to Doggett for that.
  10. I want the rosy projections to be good, but I don't think SA will be spared from the economic carnage that's just beginning and when that happens you will see many contractors and financiers go belly up, which means the optimistic projections are very unlikely to actually happen in reality. GOJ should know that this has already been a done deal, like most of the business before city council and the county commissioners in any part of Texas, none of the votes actually get swayed by public comments because the votes were brokered and whipped behind the scenes months ago. Deep down she knew she wouldn't be able to stop the project. So instead GOJ's goal was to make sure that a vocal opposition existed and showed out, so that she can build credibility with that base of organizers and voters, as well as with the fiscally conservative "vote down every bond ever no matter what" types, in the event that Project Marvel becomes infamous. An event she thinks is likely, and I can't say I blame her. I'm glad the Spurs will stay in SA for the Wemby era, and Helo saying that most of the city is agnostic about the Spurs might be the wildest take he's ever posted on this board.

  12. Trump's failed policies make him an unpopular incumbent. Trump as a "change agent" is when he overperforms, by forming a coalition of morons that disperses almost immediately after he's inaugurated and promptly begins ruining literally every aspect of his constituents' lives, and most aspects of the lives of everyone else worldwide. People really are that stupid. That stupid.
  13. That may be the most interesting coincidence in the entire documentary. "This dispatch is about to change the trajectory of your entire life, you just don't know it yet."
  14. I love 'em both. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do candidates need to actually live in the district in which they are running? I feel like I've read somewhere that they only need to be Texas residents. I hope there's a way Doggett can retire on his own terms, but yes he is old.
  15. And as much as we love Mamdani he's constitutionally barred from running for President due to his Ugandan place of birth. Plus he has to actually spend a meaningful amount of time being the Mayor, and the man clearly loves NYC too much to leave it.
  16. There's Greg Casar, who's in Texas. At the state and local level, there are many outside NYC as well. The organization's support is so powerful that even someone like Jose Garza can easily win re-election because of it. National names and candidates won't happen until one of them shows us something in a federal office. If the Dems supported DSA candidates the way the GOP supported Tea Party and MAGA candidates, it would've already happened. But the donor class will never allow it.
  17. What do you know about DSA? Would it surprise you to learn that its members are in every state, every city, and have surged in size since the first Bernie campaign? If you're looking for an actual identity, look there. The organization is much, MUCH deeper than a gaggle of influencers from Billyburg
  18. Show us the Epstein list
  19. There's no stopping the outrage machine. Dems should have a fucking spine instead of capitulating to it.

  21. She would have won a general election and has given a 2 decade incumbent the hardest primary challenges of his career even though he had every conceivable institutional advantage and on top of that was apparently corrupt enough to get raided by the feds. I don't remember seeing any "pushing LatinX" from her campaign either.
  22. It's the Sydney Sweeney of yesteryear.
  23. Democrats hate white women with big boobs. It's a fact. Don't believe me, check out @killeverycishetwhiteman and tell me I'm wrong
